About Method Medical Center

What is Method Medical Center?

Method Medical Center is an integrated medical center at 895 Island Park Drive, Daniel Island, SC 29492. Its phone number is (843) 696-9131. Its main work is joint, back and pain care. It describes itself as a knee, back and joint pain clinic and lists chiropractic care, spinal decompression, physical rehabilitation and I.V. therapy among its services. Google lists it as a medical clinic with a rating of 5 from 26 reviews.

Within the areas this directory covers, it offers hormone therapy, peptide therapy and anti-aging and longevity support. It serves patients from Daniel Island, Downtown Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Isle of Palms, North Charleston, West Ashley and Summerville.

The clinic names Troy Barron, DC, CSCS, DC for its hormone therapy, and Katie Nickerson, PA-C, PA-C as a prescriber. Its peptide description says: "All peptide programs at our clinic are customized and overseen by licensed medical providers, including our MD and PA-C team." It does not name the MD.

The peptide service lists five compounds: BPC-157, TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4), CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin, AOD-9604 and GHK-Cu. It says some peptides are FDA-approved while others are compounded. For hormones, it describes lab testing, a customized plan and follow-up, often using bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), but it does not say which hormone medications it uses. Its medical weight loss offering is described only through a platelet-rich plasma treatment. It does not describe a weight loss program.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for peptides, hormone therapy, weight loss or a consultation, and it does not state a consultation fee. Its peptide FAQ says most peptide therapies are considered elective and are self-pay, so expect to pay cash for those. It does not say whether insurance is accepted for hormone therapy or weight loss, or whether any peptide price includes the medication. It does not list hours or say whether telehealth is offered. Ask for every figure in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the prescriber. Ask which license the person signing your prescription holds, and ask for the name of the MD that the peptide description mentions. Ask who signs for hormones and who signs for peptides, since they may be different people.

Next, ask about the medication. Find out whether each peptide is an FDA-approved product or made by a compounding pharmacy, and ask which pharmacy makes it. Ask what hormone medications are used. Ask whether any quoted price includes the medication, lab work and follow-up visits. For weight loss, ask what the program actually consists of. Finally, ask how you cancel and whether any prepaid care is refundable.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already expect to pay cash for hormone or peptide care, you want the prescriber's credentials and medication details confirmed before you pay anything, and you live in or near Charleston. It is less suited to someone who needs published prices or a described weight loss program before making a call.
